To go right back to the beginning, this was Plato’s argument in the Republic (benevolent philosopher king better than mob rule). He argued that democracy would tend to mob rule (some good examples of that recently...) but history has also shown that there are very few philosopher kings/very hard to maintain that for more than a generation

Michelin-Starred Chef's Revolutionary Quest to Harvest Rice from the Sea
Truth still exists whether it’s completely hidden. Truth still exists if bad actors have injected 10 other believable stories alongside it. Truth still exists even if every fact checker calls the claim false.

People have spent enormous sums of money and time to hide the truth from the public. Just because every effort has been made to hide the truth, doesn’t diminish the fact that the truth matters. In my opinion, it’s just the opposite. It matters more than ever.

Computing produces a lot of waste heat which is difficult to deal with in space. The cooling system of the ISS can radiate a total of 100kW for example.

I think it is unlikely that we will see data centers in space unless it is absolutely unavoidable, e.g. because of lag between Earth and the place (in space) where the data is needed.
That's a great example of how this could go wrong. I hope the folks at Twitter are keeping examples like yours in mind as they develop this.

> The problem I noticed is that I never really have time to go back to my notes unless I am searching for something specifically.

If you find what you need when you need it, is never doing a nonspecific review really a problem? Notes are just a tool to support you in achieving your goals. If you don't need to recall information instantaneously, skipping review-as-memorization is just fine. If important items aren't being inadvertently neglected and falling through the cracks, skipping review-as-reflection is ok too.

It's this.

Discovery, immediate mitigation, deeper mitigation, general notice, notifying effected users - all these can happen pretty quickly once the ball is rolling. Once you're dealing with "the law" in any capacity you are constrained in what you details you can share broadly, and when.

I'm happy we were finally able to share this level of detail.

Agreed, but this kind of lobbying is equally distributed across party lines. The fact that half of Biden's cabinet is made of of ex FaceBook execs is just one example of that, similar to Bush's cabinet being packed with ex oil execs...
Thanks for taking the time to write that. I never used the Psion PDAs, but the Gemini (and its successor the Cosmo Communicator) looked really exciting to me. I was unwilling to spend the money because I wasn't really sure I'd use the thing.

It works beautifully from desktop, in any tool, which makes sense for WFH focus. (Unfortunately they cancelled the dial-up shim number allowing it to work via mobile, which I’d appreciated.)

Much cheaper than dedicated ANC, which doesn’t remove remote noise anyway.
There is also the sick irony (no pun intended). The anti-vaxers are preventing a phase out of a vaccine by their actions. If measles got nationally eradicated or better yet internationally (a slow laborious process sadly) - it would mean fewer vaccines because it did its job perfectly.
Did anybody even ask for fact checking notes by Twitter? I don't think so.

Whatever the Twitter fact checking note says, you should still not take any information from the internet at facee value.
Trench warfare is responsible for evolving a deadly 1918 Spanish Flu virus.

Soldiers with minor symptoms remained where they were, not coming in contact with many other people.

The very sickest soldiers were transported by train, where the infected many other people, to hospitals, where they continued infecting many other people. It was our own attempts to care for the soldiers that caused the deadliest strains to spread and continue evolving.

Unrelated to software but the company my dad works for (motor repair) has to buy all its parts from its own distribution arm, at the marked up price. He then has to turn a profit on those parts as well as pricing the labour.

If cost price is £5 and the markup is 20%, he has to pay £6 to get the part, then charge £7.20 on the invoice to the customer. I’ll let you guess what that does to tender bids ;-)
I mean... even Apple uses manual reviewers. If Google wanted to address this problem, they would have.

Going by another comment, it is not just a suspension, but a removal of the app identifier, which means all existing users are gone.
Besides being able to pack more transistors into a given area, a smaller transistor has less gate capacitance (to first order). This means it can switch faster (smaller RC time constant) and less energy is expended in switching. Thus, going from generation to generation, the overall energy expenditure of a chip can be kept within a reasonable range despite adding many more transistors. You also may have heard of a "die shrink", where an existing design gets shrunk to the next technology node, using less power and clocking faster.

Shrinking isn't always a walk in the park though. Some nodes ago subthreshold leakage became a big problem until they figured out how to solve it.
Can't speak for everyone but my contents are the similar and I also want to organise/remember/learn it in order to progress. I just want to understand the world as best I can and that requires learning and structuring knowledge. I have no intention of applying it for anything other than coincidentally.
I see and understand your point, but I think most people would rather choose the later.
Some business just can't afford to have their app suspended/users acquisitions stopped until their appeal is approved by someone at Google (and it can also takes some time).
Then when you appeal, you only have 1 try. If this one appeal is denied you can say goodbye to your application forever (except if you can make enough noise on social medias[1]).
Imagine knowing that each update could stop your business because a bot made a mistake. What a nightmare...

MouSTer Is a Universal USB-Mouse Adapter for Retro Computers
Some text from the notebook: "Finance and economics are becoming more and more interesting for all kinds of people, regardless of their career or profession. This is because we are all affected by economic data, or at least we are increasingly interested in being up-to-date, and we have a lot of information at hand.

Every day billions of bytes of financial data are sent over the Internet. Whether it is the price of a share, an e-commerce transaction, or even information on a country's GDP. All this data, when properly organized and managed can be used to build some amazing and insightful software applications.

We will use Python to access public financial data, organize it and combine it to gain new insights into how money makes the world go round. We will focus mainly on two Python modules:

Pandas - used to organize and format complex data in table structures called DataFrames.
Pandas-datareader - used to access public financial data from the Internet and import it into Python as a DataFrame.
We will use these modules to import data from some of the largest financial organizations in the world, as well as data stored locally on our computers. By the end of the notebook, you should feel comfortable importing financial data, either from a public source or from a local file, into Python, organizing that data and combining it with each other"
At Microsoft if you build a product using Azure (and if you want to use the cloud you MUST use Azure, you're not going to get approval to write a check to AWS) the costs come out of your budget. And it's taken seriously, to the point where teams will very much emphasize managing costs (what will this new feature cost on our Azure bill? Can we build it more efficiently? Oh wow, that refactor saved us 100k/month in cloud costs, don't forget that when we start talking about promotions...)
Is that really true. I can think of lots of sex scenes in American movies and TV where the woman is depicted as enjoying it.

Thank you so much for your reply and interest. We are currently working on reducing the price to make it more affordable for everyone. As for the risk, we do care for our driver and would not put them on any risk.

I'm very sorry about your feeling on middleman. As for our drivers, they have the ability to make significant amount of money from one library pickup. For example, if there are 20 orders to be picked from one library this can generate significant amount of pay in one library stop.

Local libraries around the US don't have the budget or capacity to start delivery service for the entire county. Our tax money doesn't stretch that far when it comes to library services. However, there are libraries that do have delivery service, but its only for patrons with permanent disability or other limitation.

Beautifully put. Thank you!
The ASS format has some basic animation with the \move command (moving subtitles using linear interpolation) and the \t command (changing various properties of a line with the possibility of quadric interpolation). This takes care of some cases, but is often insufficient for complex stuff.

Aegisub however has good automation support, and has (had?) a pretty active scripting community. Scripts can do a lot of stuff and often has simple dialog-box UIs. The base scripting support is in Lua, but a lot of scripts are written in a Lua variant called Moonscript. I've never seen it used anywhere else. And, as was mentioned in a sibling comment, there are scripts for importing motion-tracking files into Aegisub.

The ASS format lacks support for a bunch of stuff that people want to do, or the native support is deficient in some manner, so scripting is very important for Aegisub. For example, a line can be given a color gradient by make a one copy of the line for each shade in the gradient (this can be 100+ times). Each copy is then given a different color according to the gradient, and a \clip command is used on each line to only show a 1-2 pixel wide slice of each line. If all those slices are lined up properly and the lines are displayed simultaneously, it gives the impression of being a single line with a color gradient. Tricks like this can actually cause performance problems in rendering the subtitles!

I think this is an interesting little programming niche, but there isn't much complex typesetting being done these days. Tastes have changed, and due to licensed releases there's less need for fansubbing on all but the most niche titles.
I was wondering if you can offer RSS feed for the stuff that ends up on the front page.
Since the linked article is somewhat ambiguous about this, and other commenters appear to be getting confused about the purpose and value of the laser links as well: these laser links are purely intended for satellite-to-satellite communications for Starlink. They are not (at least at this time, and for the foreseeable future) intended for ground-to-satellite communications.

The value that sat-to-sat laser links provide is that they create a low latency, high bandwidth path that stays within the Starlink satellite network. Before these 10 satellites, each Starlink satellite has only been capable of communicating directly to ground terminals (either consumer, transit, or SpaceX control). For traffic that is intended to move large geographic distances (think transcontinental), this can require several hops back and forth between ground and space, or the traffic from the user terminal is exited at a node that is geared for transiting traffic and most of the data transits along existing ground Internet links.

By performing this type of transit directly in space, and exiting at a transit node nearest the destination for the data, you greatly reduce latency. Bandwidth still might not be great, but what this does is unlocks a very financially lucrative consumer use case: low latency finance traffic and critical communications. There are many use cases around the world where shaving even 10-20 milliseconds of latency on a data path can unlock finance and emergency capabilities, and this is a long fought battle throughout the history of these industries. As an example, if you got a piece of news about a company in Australia, and wanted to trade on it as quickly as possible in USA, if you can beat your competitors by 10-20 milliseconds, that can mean a lot of money.

Laser comms for Starlink sats have long been planned, but have historically proven to be quite hard to get working. They also depend on a sufficient critical mass of satellites so that a given sat actually does have another sat within lock to send the traffic towards.

How much difference does it make to people where a Covid vaccine was developed?
In the worst case, it at least protects society from the person, but I'm optimistic that there are more humane policies that can accomplish all of the above. Imprisonment is about ensuring public safety, to the extent that we can make it humane for the prisoners as well, we ought to do so, but failing that the alternative isn't to release dangerous criminals to reoffend--that's inhumane to their communities (and while some are particularly keen to note that prisoners are more likely to be marginalized minorities, those same people frequently fail to note that the communities that we release these unrehabilitated prisoners back into are also largely marginalized minority communities).

EINs don't accumulate Social Security, but when you file taxes you'll pay "self-employment tax" on earnings from that "business" and those go to your personal SS account.

When you use an EIN you're basically claiming to act as a business. For some cases, you can do that just fine. But a lot of SSN requests for identification or credit checks it won't work. And anyone who cares that it's a SSN vs a TIN can figure that out easily.

Something I found surprising is that a change to the GitHub codebase will be run in canary, get deployed to production, and then merged. I would have expected the PR to be merged first before it gets served to the public, so even if you have to `git revert` and undeploy it, you still have a record of every version that was seen by actual users, even momentarily.

Does anyone know the pros and cons of GitHub's approach?
